Chapter 2407: Imperial Court Tribute Rice



Winter is usually the most leisurely time for people in the north. Many things that are inconvenient to hold in spring, summer and autumn will be held in winter, especially during the period before the New Year.

Feast the guests, slaughter pigs and sheep, marry a wife and send off daughters.

Especially in winter, there are many people getting married, and there are even more such things as Jiang Wei.

Once winter begins, this kind of thing happens almost every day: one family marries a daughter-in-law, and another family marries a daughter.

Sometimes this happens several times a day.

Wen Zhongguo also brought his wife home this winter. He and Zhan Ling have been together for two years, so it's time to get married.

His home is right below Wan Feng's, in the community that was rebuilt from the old brigade. It's a 100-square-meter house on the third floor of a building facing north and south.

This is not the dormitory building of Nanwan Group, so there is no discount. It was bought at the normal market price of 810,000 yuan per square meter, but Li Quan gave some discounts. The purchase price was 74,000 yuan, and the decoration cost a total of 100,000 yuan.

Not all of this money was paid by Wen Zhongguo himself. He paid for the purchase of the house, and the decoration money was paid by his father-in-law Zhan Honggui.

The reason why he bought a house here was to be closer to Wan Feng's home, so that if anything happened to the Wan family, he could rush to the scene first.

His wedding was hosted by Wan Feng himself, and the banquet was held at the Hongying Hotel. Because his family was not local, only forty tables were set up.

The people who came to drink were either from the security company or the Nanwan Group.

Wen Zhongguo was born at the beginning of family planning, so he was the only son in his family.

His parents came to Jiangwei this spring.

Wen Zhongguo's parents were just ordinary farmers and had no skills or special abilities. When the general arrived, Wan Feng thought for a long time but still had no idea what to do with him.

Wen Zhongguo's father is fifty years old, which is a very awkward age, an age when he can't do anything.

It's not the best age to start a business or work. Because of the security company here in Jiangwei, there is not even a night watchman job.

At best, I can go to some companies to clean or something.

Wen Zhongguo is his bodyguard. Even if others agree, Wan Feng will not agree to let his father clean the house.

After much deliberation, Wan Feng finally opened a store for him, specializing in cigarette wholesale.

Tobacco and salt are both state monopolies. Cigarettes were allowed for a period of time but were then withdrawn two years ago.

Wan Feng also did not have the power to obtain the wholesale rights of cigarettes, but it was still possible to use his connections to get Hongya Tobacco to set up a distribution point in Jiangwei.

Both cigarettes and water are purchased from tobacco and sold wholesale at the wholesale price set by the state.

This is not illegal.

In fact, there were still many such wholesale departments in towns and villages at that time, but these wholesale departments sold everything from cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea.

Wen Zhongguo's wholesale department has nothing else but wholesale cigarettes. Because of Wan Feng's relationship, this store has the most abundant variety and quantity of cigarettes.

I have whatever cigarettes you want, in whatever quantities you want.

Just because of this, the business has been booming with many customers in the six months since opening.

Wen Zhanzhi was very happy about his son's marriage. He gave cigarettes to everyone he met. Wan Feng even grabbed a box of Hongtashan cigarettes.

But Wan Feng returned it. What would he do with it if he didn't smoke?

No matter what, Wen Zhongguo has now established a family and a career.

A man will only feel responsible and be a real man if he has a wife.

A man without a wife is just a loser.

But there are exceptions. Li Xianrong is in his thirties and has a wife and children, but Wan Feng still calls him Naihuangzi.

What else could it be but a naihuangzi if it’s not something that forces the old man who retired to run back to Jiangwei to beg for help?

Don’t think that I won’t dare to call you Naihuangzi just because you are old.

But that was two years ago. Now when he sees Li Xianrong and Wan Feng again, he naturally won’t call them “Nahuangzi” anymore.

Because the current Li Xianrong is no longer the person who almost drove me crazy.

"Mr. Wan! I know you have everything you need at home, but this is what my father asked me to bring. It's all local specialties."

But they are all local specialties, Huanren ginseng, Huanren ice wine, and Huanren toad oil, which is acceptable, but what's the matter with these five bags of rice?

"Hey! Xiao Wan! Even though rice is the most common of these local specialties, it's the most valuable. It was tribute rice to the imperial court during the Qing Dynasty."

The Qing Dynasty itself originated in the Northeast. They were used to eating rice from their hometown, so it didn't seem like there was anything to be proud of if they couldn't get used to the rice inside the Great Wall after entering the Great Wall.

"Boss Wan! This rice is called Huanren Jingzu rice. Look at what it looks like."

Li Xianrong actually untied the rope on the rice bag, grabbed a handful of rice from the bag and handed it to Wan Feng.

This rice is indeed significantly different from other rice. At first glance, it looks like it is made of glass and is transparent.

Only then did Wan Feng truly understand what "round and smooth as pearls and jade" meant.

"Don't tell me, this rice is quite interesting!"

"Let me tell you, only four towns in Huanren can produce this kind of rice. Apart from Huanren Town, Yahe Town, Pulebao Town, and Gucheng Town, other places don't produce it at all."

With the products from just four towns, Li Da gave himself five woven bags. This gift was no small amount.

Of these five bags of rice, I kept one for myself, two fathers-in-law, my grandfather, my uncle, two uncles-in-law and one uncle...

This is not enough points!

It seems that each of them can only share half a bag.

Of course, Li Xianrong did not come here specifically to deliver local specialties. His main task was to discuss the transfer of the last model of the 478 Mustang engine, which is the most advanced engine with direct injection and adjustable valve technology.

Huanren Power now has three other models of Mustang engines, but the earliest models are basically no longer in production, and the 478A model is not produced much now, accounting for only one-third of Huanren Power's engine production capacity.

The most produced model is the electronically fueled Mustang C.

Now he's setting his sights on the Mustang D.

As the saying goes, you should be grateful for what you have received from others.

Wanfeng’s family has already taken the tribute rice, how can you have the nerve to say no?

But family is family and money is money. Although Wan Feng agreed, the transfer fee did not decrease at all.

The total amount of technology and production line transfer is 40 million yuan.

When the other party has no money, you can ask for less, but when the other party has money, you naturally cannot ask for less.

In just two years, Li Xianrong became the richest man in Huanren.

In just two years, Huanren Power's production scale has grown to 150,000 units, and it achieved a net profit of more than 200 million yuan last year.

Li Xianrong didn't care about the money and transferred the payment happily.

After the other party paid the money, Nanwan gave the technical information to Li Xianrong. As for the production line, Nanwan dismantled a line with a capacity of 50,000 units and shipped it to Huanren.

Huanren Power will start production in March next year.
